PROPOSED "COMBINE."
The Plan to Bring Together New York,
Senator-Elect and. the Politician from
Maine.

The Plan to Bring Together New York's
Senator-Elect and. the Politician from
Maine.
The project to bring Senator-elect
Hiscock and Mr.. Blaine together at the
reception to the Legislature by the Fort
Orange Club, which takes place next
month, is most sagacious move on
the part of the new "bosses'' of the
Republican party in this State, Hon.
Thomas c. Platt and Hon. j. j. Bel
den. 1t will emphasize more COM
pletely the victory of the combine"
by the presence of the chief "boss" of
the party at a reception in which the
handsome statesman from Syracuse is
expected to be the central figure.
There will be an excellent opportunity
for the gentleman from Maine to
cultivate the acquaintance of the dis
tinguished members of the combine"
who now control the destinies of New
York Republicanism, and who received
such valuable encouragement from him
during the recent contest. In the love
feast which is likely to characterize
the meeting of those shining lights
of the party many old sores may
be healed up and assurances of
distinguished consideration, ETC.,
exchanged. There could not be q
more favorable occasion for Mr..
Blaine to give an exposition of his
views and unbosom himself to the new
machine in one of his inimitable mag
netic speeches. And should he find,
next morning, in cold type, any un-
fortunate slips of the tongue, he will
be spared the unpleasant trouble, as in
other places, of denying his own words.
1t may be that his severe Senatorial
duties would prevent Hon. Warner
Miller from joining the love feast, or.
perhaps, his well-known antipathy to
any thing of the combine" order
would keep him away from the punch
in question. The same cause may de-
ter the genial Speaker of the Assem-.
bly, from participating in the reunion,
although he would find it hard to be
away from his .fdus debates, Mr.. En-
win, who has solemnly assured him
that he is a "good man." But, witt
the persuasions of Hon. Henry G. Bur
leigh and Hon. George West, the re
luctanco of the Herkimer statesman
and the Peekskill Macchiavelli nigh
be easily overcome. We assure Mr.
Blaine and Mr. Hiscock of hospitabl'
reception and warm greeting, with tn
freedom of the city to boot. BY al
means let them come and they will
not soon forget what gay place al
bany is in winter time. Mr.. Blain
. will learn more Of New York polite
in one day here than he would in
year at the Fifth Avenue Hotsl.--A1

A Hard World for a Cat,

This is the very worst world that
ever got into. / declare cat can't do
single thing but what some one gets
after it. This morning, when / woke
up, felt thirsty. As like fresh water,
l was just ready to take cool drink
from the bucket, when heard ''scat!'
Well, of course had to run. As L
could not get the water, l went to the
spring house. There was u nice pan
Of milk on the table. 1 took drink
from this pan. Before l knew it, Mary
Jane gave me an awful slap.
ran into the yard and stayed there
till l felt hungry. Then l tried to catch
mouse or rat in the barn, but none
came out.
went into the dining room to see
what could get to eat No one was
there, so what could do but to help
myself. AS / could not see what was
on the table, jumped upon it.
There stood a plate of meat. Now
like meat, but do not get it often.
20 l was eating finely when quick
rs thought / was thrown out of the
window.
think the girl treated me very rude
ly. Don't you think so?
BY this time felt tired, and as the
baby lay in very soft bed, thought l
would lie down beside her.
What did the baby do then but
ncream, and her father came to see
what was the matter.
I saw had better get out OF the
way. He threw his slipper at me. I
heard him say: 'Jack, il You don't
make that cat stay in the barn, I'll
drown her."
When heard him, thought it best
TO g. % the barn and stay there. l
don't dare go near tho house for fear
of being drowned.
Now ask you, my friend, If this is
not hard world for cat to live IMP

There was romantic incident con

steamboat on tho Mississippi river. A
baby boy, SO Young that ho was unable
to tell his name, was found floating
down the river. He was mile below

turc's eyes,
or the Babylonian wonders and the Joy that in
them lies.
Hewitt killed the man who had wronged,
and with n heart filed with hate and distrust of
the whole human race, he fled to the woods,
and lived Us hermit for the rest of his life. He
finally settled in the Scioto Valley and built a
cave, before the country near it was occupied by
the pioneers. His rifle supplied his wants so far
as food and clothing were concerned, and he oc.
casionally visited Chillicothc to exchange the
skins of animals for ammunition. He was an
object of considerable curiosity to the people Of
the town. but he was taciturn, and answered no
questions.
The hermit wore q suit of deer skin. His
beard and hair were long, and he had gilt
tcring eye like that of the Ancient Mariner.
1t is stated that he always walked In the mid
die of the street, to avoid meeting his fellow
men.
Long isolation made him sensitive and devcl-
opcd his finer feelings. He planted an orchard
on Government land, when he first came to the
valley. The land afterwards became the prop
erty Of n settler, and Hewitt would not gather
any Of the fruit without first asking permission
from the owner of the ground.
One day, while he was sitting in dark re-
cess in the forest he saw n teamster, who was
passing, stop and cut down deer which he
had killed and hung before his cave. He took
a short path through the woods and at q turn
in the road confronted the thief with his rifle
leveled at the culprit's breast. He ordered him
to return the venson at once, and dismissed
the frightened wretch with the injunction,
'Never again rob the hermit"
When Hewitt died he was buried in his cave,
which is now beside the road. a monument
has been placed above it, which bears this in-
scr ption:

The primitive home Of the horse was the
country lying between the Tigris and the

he was brought TO Egypt, where We find fre-

Of the human family. In profane history
Sesostris, an Egyptian king, is represented as
the first one who taught men % train horses

horses were taken into Assyris and Persia,
